Craig 1,435 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 The community list we made last year is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15uE12Yv5nMvIF42U33cY5FQoF6M66QIn00cC876uf7Y/edit?usp=sharing Pretty sure most of the stuff you're mentioning is covered. We've been waiting for stock fixes for a very very very long time. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tsunero 215 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 I got an update too but it's dated 2020 08 25, no idea what changed but the security patch is still only on April. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Expand AFAIK they should have fixed the bug with random boots on poor WiFi. And also an odd one with loosing fingerprints. EDIT: See dump posted by @LAMENT below. ADD: On the "April". Last time it took Google 'forever' to certify the security update, So I guess they are not too keen on postponing everything else for months waiting for that... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jjarmasz 81 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 You know what guys? I posted the wrong screenshot somehow. This is the update I got, it is indeed 08 25 like @Tsunero said. Apologies. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Here there still is a substantially larger idle power drain when connected to my router using 5GHz rather than 2.4GHz (With 4G, BT and NFC It is about 0.7%/h with 2.4GHz Wifi, but 2.8%/h with 5GHz WiFi) EDIT: This issue is related to specific router models (or just old ones?) I see it with a Huawei B525s-23a but NOT with a Huawei B535-232 where it is down at a mere 0.5%/h 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jjarmasz 81 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Hopefully there'll be an update soon to fix the minimum call volume being too loud (more of a problem for me than screen brightness lol) & debouncing the power button... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ilrilan 54 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 After updating firmware to 20200825 fingerprints are lost after first reboot, as on previous firmware versions. Has anyone this fix works? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slion 1,201 Posted September 5, 2020 Author Share Posted September 5, 2020 I really like that update. It shows they are indeed paying attention to community feedback. I was never affected by 1 & 2 but I'm most happy about 3, the screen brightness issue, even though I'll keep using Fx Service overlay filter it still brings something, somehow the screen looks better at low brightness in low light. Moreover 4, the keyboard backlight not coming back online after locking the screen while keyboard is open is also very much appreciated. Hats off FxTec 🎩 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ToniCipriani 194 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Got the update, but it seems like my battery life took a nosedive. The drain on idle is almost equivalent to me playing a game yesterday. https://imgur.com/a/9pWlBDD 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Has anyone this fix works? Expand The change to fingerprints, as far as I can tell, was to delete the HAL fingerprint data when you delete the android fingerprint. So if you have "orphaned" fingerprint data in the HAL, this won't fix your issue. You need to clear the HAL fingerprint data to fix it. Thereafter you shouldn't have the problem anymore, unless you factory reset with active fingerprints. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Expand Yeah, the green tint issue is partially fixed. I mean it is still there but not on the lowest brightness. So, if you slide the brightness slider you start to see green tint between 50%-10% but below 10% green tint is gone. So no more green tint when I use Pro1 just before bedtime in dark room. Also, my eyes are not burned! 👍 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ilrilan 54 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I have no fingerprints stored after reboot. Then, i add some new fingerprints, use it some time, then reboot phone - and hasn't any fingerprints again. What else need I do to fix this bug? Have tried to add fingerprints, then manually remove, then add others - same state, all is lost after first reboot Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But since you are on stock you don't have root access. So you need to flash the persist partition from fastboot. Find the thread from Liancheng about how to go back to stock. Get the files. Reboot to bootloader and run fastboot flash persist persist.img. you will reset your WiFi Mac addr but that should fix the issue. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Expand That is very interesting. What do you get with 2.4GHz then? The consumption you get seems more like what I would have expected, a tad more than 2.4GHz but not extremely much more. MY router is a somewhat dated Huawei B525s 23a. (I use 4G as a fall-back connection when the fibre is out of order) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
